Procedure 1. Read over the lab with your group 2. Assign group roles 3. Make sure everyone completes their lab
form 4. Raise your hand when your group is ready
for the next step 5. If you finish early, review your Power Notes
1.3
Do-Now 1. Check your lab with your group. Make
sure it is completed 2. Take out last week’s do-now titled
“Brainpop: Scientific Method” 3. Number 1-10 underneath the do-now

BrainPoP! • http://www.brainpop.com/science/
scientificinquiry/scientificmethod/ • As a group, agree on the answer • Write down the entire answer • We will correct at the end • Winning group(s) = +5 extra dojo points !
Review • Recall… • Independent variable = what I change • Dependent variable = what I’m measuring • Control = something I DON’T change for
comparison

Example • I want to see if fertilizer can help my plants
grow. I add fertilizer to one plant, and I do not add it to the other. After one week, I measure the growth of each plant.
Example • I want to see if fertilizer can help my plants
grow. I add fertilizer to one plant, and I do not add it to the other. After one week, I measure the growth of each plant. – What is the independent variable? – What is the dependent variable? – What is the control?

Example 2 • I want to see if drinking caffeine can help
my students complete their work in class. I give half of my class caffeine, and the other half does not get caffeine. After each class, I measure how much work they each complete. – What is the independent variable? – What is the dependent variable? – What is the control?
CW/HW • Finish the Simpsons variable WS • Don’t forget – bring pill bugs !

Pill Bug Pre-Lab 1. In your assigned groups, you will observe
pill bugs in order to fill in the pre-lab observations, questions, and inferences
2. You will also need to sketch a pill bug. This sketch needs to be neat, detailed, and labeled.
3. You will also need to decide who is going to bring what materials for their habitats.
4. Afterward, you may work on the 1.4+1.5 worksheets
